Kate Wolf - She rises like the dolphin

She ^Dmrises like the dolphin with the ^Gsea wind in her eyes The ^Fsunlight casting shadows like a ^Apainter's palette knife ^Dm Her hair fans out around her, ^Cfloating like a crown ^G She plays on the water and lets it pull her ^Cdown

^FSometimes she swims in moonlight with the ^Cstars high above ^Dm The night sounds of the water speaking soft of ^E7love ^Am Her skin turns to velvet as she ^Ffeels the waters ^Cglide ^Dm She loses all her ^Cboundaries on this ^Gmagic carpet ^Cride ^{Dm C G C}

You see ^Dmripples on the water and ^Gwatch the shadows dance ^F Then she's diving down and you're ^Alooking through a glass ^Dm Like a one-way mirror her re^Cflection's far below ^G Where she was, she isn't now, that's all you really ^Cknow

Two ^Fswimmers in the water, one of ^Csilver, one of gold ^Dm One below the surface, one reaching for a ^E7hold ^Am One floating freely, one ^Ftrying not to ^Cdrown ^Dm A dreamer with two ^Cfaces, a ^Gdolphin and a ^Cclown

^DmIf you think you'll hold her ^Gin a shallow pool ^F Or catch her in a waterfall, you're ^Athinking like a fool ^Dm She'll strike for the horizon like a ^Cship out to sea ^G Leaving just illusions that look like memo^Cries

She wears the ^Fwater like a mask, a ^Cbrand new suit of clothes ^Dm A player on the stage, an actress no one ^E7knows ^Am See her roll and tumble, ^Ffalling like a ^Cclown ^Dm A swimmer in the ^Cwater, that ^Gruns from higher ^Cground
